Sell Your Cattle Locally

Mon, 12/05/2011 - 12:45pm — Diane Dyer

Butler County beef producers can sell some of their production animals without having to haul them out of Butler County. The Butler County Stockman’s Association will be having a beef cattle production sale on Saturday, March 10, 2012. The sale will be at the Eva. Hawes Ag. Expo Building, located at the Morgantown City Park.

Last year’s sale was a huge success. Farmers can sell open or bred heifers and young registered bulls. Farmers can also sell young cows at this unique marketing opportunity. Commission is 6%, this is a very competitive marketing expense.

Interested farmers should contact the Butler County Extension Service and get a consignment packet. The consignment deadline is January 28, 2012, so don’t delay in starting the process. Animals in the sale must meet some basic health and reproduction requirements so please start planning early.

For more information, contact the Butler County Extension Office at 112 E GL Smith Street, Morgantown, or call 270-526-3767.
Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability, or national origin.
